The one most requested feature to add to iPad Mini is a beautiful Retina display, and that's what we're gonna do today.
The 7.9-inch Retina display that's 2048 by 1536 pixels, the same number of pixels as an iPad Air, so it runs all the same software and use it for everything you do from looking at photos but the pixels are
so small that you can't see the individual ones in the normal distance.
